I have a denim dress with three bleached spots. Long story short, the dress
was accidentally splashed with bleach. The spots are all one inch in
diameter or less. Is there a way to dye such small areas of denim? I've
looked at the Rit brand of dyes available at Wal-Mart, and the only color
that comes close is a dark blue. I'm not sure this color would work on my
dark denim dress, and I'm afraid the end result might be unsatisfactory. Any
advice will be greatly appreciated.

I'm sew-naive but I was wondering if you thought about embellishing
those areas. Even if you dye them I don't know if it would look even
enough.
